Screaming monkeys, quirky cats, and ornate dragons act as gate keepers to this continuing trend which takes its influence from East Asia. We saw it appear in Dries Van Noten’s collection here, and Dans La Vie here, so it was only a matter of time before menswear followed. Look to the colorful temples of Bhutan for inspiration and mix decorative details with rich palettes of intense reds and oranges, or shades of royal blue, and accent with black and metallic gold.
